In the era of Big-Tech internet censorship, Minds stands out as a major social media platform that respects freedom of speech. For this reason alone, legions of users from all around the world have migrated over to this site. If freedom of expression is the reason why people have come, then Original Creative Content is the reason why they stay.

I want Minds to be the place to be if you're looking to discover cool new artists, musicians, film-makers, authors, etc. Let us transform Minds into the cultural MECCA of the internet by supporting original content creators who have a platform on Minds.

In my previous issues of POC (Promoting Original Content), I've promoted novelists and comic book artists, which you can check out here:

And last but not least...

@ME2007Vigil

Wait a minute. That's me! But I'm not a musician. I'm a novelist. Having said that, I did compose a song for my novel, Red Eden: Homeworld Bound. It's called Hymn of the Martian Pioneers. It's sung by a (CG) choir. Be warned! I created this with no musical training whatsoever. I had to learn from scratch how to use a DAW, a sophisticated choir-generating software, and a video-editing software. All in all, this project took me a few days to complete. It was a steep learning curve. Phew! Here's the link to check out my song. I hope it's not too shabby.
